The reason I don't update via yaourt is because I've got logitechmediaserver which tends to break frequently. Plus it takes ages to build on my machine (an old AMD Sempron 1100 le). In fact it's broken right now because pacman wouldn't upgrade due to a perl dependency in a recent update, perl wanted to go to 5.20 and logitechmediaserver needed <5.19. So I manually updated logitechmediaserver, and sure enough it's borked now. So one of my jobs tonight is removing and reinstalling it.

Such is the way of running Arch. But I do get a nice spangly new version of KDE every time it's released.

When it comes automation, not using sudo with yaourt can be irritating at times. Unless you're in a high-security environment, you almost never have to worry about using sudo with yaourt. I could have sworn there was a version of yaourt that is pre-compiled. There is a repository for it. It rarely updates anyway.
